Online roleplaying games (rpg) are increasing in popularity throughout the internet. Perhaps a major reason for this is that more and more people are staying home because of the dangers of going out doors. By playing online roleplaying games people can imagine themselves getting into all sorts of scenarios in which frequently they become the hero. Online a player can become almost anyone or anything they want to be. For example they can take on the role of vampire or a warlord. It is possible to become a doctor or lawyer or any profession you choose. Those who find themselves isolated in society can role play such characters as prom queen, leading football star or a boss of a big corporation. To be really good in online roleplaying games it is important to have good set of rules, computer hardware and software. Hardware is frequently noted as being ideal for playing games on a computer and includes a good monitor, graphics card and an integrated sound system. The right software is also important. Fast broadband is also important as the games normally require plenty of movement and therefore dial up broadband will usually be unsatisfactory. Some claim that online roleplaying games are not actually very good because many people can confuse the real world with the world of the roleplay. For this reason players need to take stock of themselves and ensure that they are not carried away with the irreality of the play. Examples of this sort of confusion is often used in crime television programs such as Law and Order to develop some very interesting plots. Online roleplaying games tend to use text based roles using the internet as the medium to convey communications. Some role playing are played by players taking turns. These can include play be email games and play by post games in internet forums. Other role playing games are more realistic with the use of telnet or IRC. These are often referred to as multi user (MU) or massively multi-player online role playing games (MMORPG) Some people use internet chat clients or dedicated virtual tabletop software to play what would otherwise be a traditional RPG. Any offline roleplaying game is capable of being played online. One of the best but darkest roleplaying games available is Vampire Clans. This game has vampire clans that war against each other. While battling against each other the clans seek out new skills, new capabilities and new weapons. A player has to collect minions to do their bidding, while taking part in battles to kill off their enemies. The entire game is set in darkness, and is appropriately . creepy with ominous music and shadows. On the other side of the emotional spectrum is a game where the player takes on the persona of a a fictional person and wander through the virtual world doing many of the things that regular people would do- including seeking a job, going on dates and even going out to eat. All of the mundane parts of life are included for realism, and the graphics are fairly bright and lifelike. The role could take on any aspect of a human personality for good and/or bad. No matter what type of game you choose to play, no matter what persona you slip into, do not let it take over your life. Your real life is still waiting to be lived positively.
